Meet Me, Jamyla

I am Jamyla Jones, a simple girl who lives life to the fullest. I am the girl who is known to 

break out in song and dance at random times.  My life started out on the infamous Ft. Hood 

army base in Texas. Despite the fact that I was born on an army base, I wasn't an army brat. 
My parents were both in the Air Force, but when I was born they put that all behind.  I spent most of my life in Arlington, Texas and moved after I graduated elementary school. Since then I have moved a lot, I started out in Coppell and after that Frisco, Plano, McKinney, and Allen. I never minded the moves much because I love to travel and the chance to start over again. I am really into cooking, especially baking. I used to play volleyball, basketball, and run track until I decided to be hard-headed and not listen to the doctors about staying off my knee, so now I can’t do anything at all. I still try to play basketball sometimes, but it doesn’t always work out for me. I am a very opinionated person who isn’t afraid to speak my mind, but my problem with that is sometimes I can be close-minded to other people’s opinions. I am a bit of nerd; I love to read and do math problems. Learning is a fun thing for me because I love to expand my mind. My dad started me reading at a very young age, I didn’t always do it willingly then, but I do now. Mary Higgins Clark is my favorite author, her writing style isn’t like anything I normally see. I am an elementary education major because I want to have the opportunity to expand someone else’s mind. Basically I am Jamyla Jones and I am excited to have the opportunity to expand my mind some more while growing in my relationship with Christ.
